JSON processing using JQ operator in Rapidminer

Somnath_Das

I have simple JSON data in the format as follows:

{"A":"a1","B":"b1"}

{"A":"a2","B":"b2"}

{"A":"a3","B":"b3"}

I want the output in the format:
A   B
a1  b1
a2  b2
a3  b3

Please help, it is urgent

Hi,

when I try your input on jqplay.org with the filter [.A, .B] | @csv, it returns the correct output.

The library used in the RapidMiner extension only returns the first element though. I'm not sure what to do there.

Your input is a bit atypical because it's a list of objects, but not in a syntactically explicit way. 

When changing the input to this:

[

  {"A":"a1","B":"b1"},

  {"A":"a2","B":"b2"},

  {"A":"a3","B":"b3"}
]
it works with the filter .[] | [.A, .B].

Example process:

With this input the output of "JSON to Data" is also meaningful.
